Sickened by Muslim Council of Britain's Letter to the Queen

07-06-2012 07:16

Victims of the Great Famine of 1876–78 in India.
The MCB published a news release on 1st June 2012 titled ‘British Muslims & Muslim Council Celebrates Queens Reign’, saying 'British Muslims are “deeply grateful” for The Queen’s long interest in her Muslim subjects'. Upon reading this, I felt sick as the MCB have ignored and thus dismissed the abuses perpetrated/condoned by the British Monarchy. This article responds to the MCB news release & includes comments from a diverse group of people. Ths MCB news release has brought transparency to their role in the UK.  http://mswithacause.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/sickened-by-muslim-council-of-britains.html

STWC - get your views about their role on 15 Feb 2003 onto the big screen

01-06-2012 14:50

There's a film being made about the anti-war protests of 15 Feb 2003, the film makers "working closely with the Stop the War Coalition" amongst others. It doesn't sound like STWC will be claiming their share of responsibility for the failure of the day - by doing their utmost to stop any civil disobedience or resistance for example. The invitation suggests that the "Arab Revolutions and the subsequent Indignados and Occupy Movements" started here. Oh really? You may well not be selected if you present an alternative view of the day, but here are the details in case you'd like to take part.

The appalling massacre of 108 people, including 49 children, in Houla, Syria, dominated the Independent on Sunday’s latest front cover. Above a few short lines of commentary the banner headline read:

‘SYRIA: THE WORLD LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. WILL YOU?’

The text beneath observed:

‘There is, of course, supposed to be a ceasefire, which the brutal Assad regime simply ignores. And the international community? It just averts its gaze. Will you do the same? Or will the sickening fate of these innocent children make you very, very angry?’ (Independent on Sunday, May 27, 2012)
